Other Help Topics :: Install Skype?

I have installed DSL on my hard drive and wanted to install some useful applications,however being a linux noob, I am having trouble installing anything.
I have downloaded the Skype.deb file into emelFM,but don't see any options for installing it. Any help appreciated. Thanks !

Use the MyDSL GUI (graphical user interface).
1. Just click on the MyDSL icon on the desktop and it will fire right up. (internet connection is required)
2. Select the "Net" category .
3. Find the Skype program on the the list, then click it. An information box will pop up. Click "Download"
The Skype application will automatically download and install itself. Then you will see the Skype icon on desktop.

Tip: You can test Skype immediately calling to "echo123".

Please, post your results using Skype. Is important for me because I have audio problems running Skype on DSL.

I keep getting a "Logging in failed" message, I even tried to create a new account and password,but that also failed ! And why do my Full enhanced desktop items keep disappering?? Thanks

Login solution:
Using Firefox browse to the /MyDSL/net directory from any Mirror on DSL Home Page.
Download the skype-0.93.tar.gz file to any directory, for example /home/dsl
Then browser to /home/dsl using Emelfm, select skype-0.93.tar.gz file and press the MyDSL button in EmelFM.
That installs Skype again.

NOTE: The other file present in Mirror, the skype.tar.gz file have the login problem. I guess before you downloaded this when you did use the MyDSL GUI.

Ok,downloaded it,but when I hit MyDsl in emelFM,nothing happens,when I do emelFM as a SuperUser,it says I must be loggin in as dsl user. How to change login? And what am I logged in as now? I never got any prompt to login !
